Shit no!!! It was new when I bought it. Was getting my suspension and wheels put on and my guy called and told me about it. I ordered with no sound clip. I told him get it. Rest is history

No kidding. Purposely short clips are fishy. I lol'd at your username though.

Agree. They make great, vastly overpriced exhausts. Capristo also makes top quality, expensive systems. I wish Billy Boat made them for BMWs. You would be talking $2-3k then. There are cheaper alternatives, obviously, but for those who want them, why not? But don't assume those who don't see anywhere near the price/performance being there simply "can't afford" them. I--finally, like the sound from my M4C--valves fully open, and getting miles on it is 'seasoning' the exhaust note. Cost: zero. To me, that is spectacular price/performance...But, as always, you car, your money, your choice.

it’s because the Porsche exhaust is super short. G80 catback exhaust needs to go all the way from the front engine bay to the rear bumper - that’s a lot of titanium. also 4k is for the axle back without the Akra tips, as far as I know.

I appreciate Akra for their efforts. I truly do. It sounds good. To be honest though, IMHO, you can only do so much with the F8X and G8X platform. If sound is what you truly care about, find yourself a S65. NA produces better tone from bottom to top. Just my 0.02.

rather get M performance exhaust for less money which is made by Akra as well, and look better

Not so sure about that; back in the day in the E9X forums, some members posted buyers regret sentiments because it wasn't loud enough. While Akra is a stellar product, it won't suite everyone's taste regardless of budget.
